Solar Sail Belly Flops Into Sea

Bad Booster to blame.

Decider: Admin

A government panel will investigate possible reasons behind the failure of the three-stage rocket's first-stage engine, Davidenko said.

That's the translation of the Russian phrase for 'Someone's going to hang by their fuking neck until they're ded'.

Tacking, meep.

am i missing something?

'At mission headquarters, project operations manager Jim Cantrell, right, joins Ann Druyan, program director and widow of astronomer Carl Sagan, and Planetary Society co-founder Bruce Murray, left, as they explain how no information has been received from the Solar Sail spacecraft after its successful launch from a Russian submarine, at Planetary Society headquarters in Pasadena, Calif., Tuesday, June 21, 2005.'

and

'It's good news because we are in orbit very likely in orbit,' Bruce Murray, a co-founder of The Planetary Society, which organized the mission, said before the Russian space agency's announcement.'

wtf?
